Drone Attack on RAF Akrotiri Update

They can also confirm that a Shaheed-like drone,

which targeted RAF Akrotiri on the 2nd of March,

that was the drone that came in at midnight,

they are saying that that was not launched from Iran.

So that is interesting and significant.

They are not giving us any information as yet

as to where they think that was launched from.

But a drone that hit RAF Akrotiri,

that was the one I think that caused damage to the airstrip,

did not come from Iran,

was not launched from Iran,

obviously may well have come via Iran.

And in the last 24 hours,

the UK has resupplied air defence systems

to British and allied bases across the region,

including UK-built air defence missiles,

and that Royal Navy Wildcat helicopters armed with Martlet missiles,

capable of taking out aerial threats,

are arriving in Cyprus in the coming days.

That is all we have in terms of an actual timeframe.

The coming days could be as long as a week,

some would possibly argue.
